Underdog

Let me see you put 'em up (put 'em up)

Reach the sky touch the stars up above (above)

'Cause it's one time for the Underdog (Underdog)

One time for the Underdog

You got the world on your team (your team)

Even if that ain't what it seems

It's one time for the Underdog

It's one time for the Underdog

A young nigga with a dollar and a dream

And these nikes on my feet

Tryna sing about the streets

So I'm rhyming pulling 187s all on these beats

Stead of on the concrete

Cementing my future while they were focused on what they chief

But shit, I'm like a chief, head honcho

Tell me that it's impossible I'll get it to you pronto

Been workin' all these late nights and these early mornings like Alonzo

So one day they'll be callin' me great, just call me Gonzo

But, I'm never actin' nor is anybody pulling strings

Everything I have came from sacrificing everything

I traded workin' nine to five for the minimum

For workin non-stop so my life be like a cinema screen

But in the end I wouldn't have it any other way

Got on my knees and for this rap to work is what I prayed

And now it's happening, crunchin' numbers like captain

A serial killer compelling listeners with this passion for words

Never actin, my verbs were truly fashioned to serve

Not only masses but curbs, not just the hood, but the burbs

Know you hear it everytime I grace the mic

Then I give it to God

Feeling blinded by the lights, and it's on

Let me see you put 'em up (put 'em up)

Reach the sky, touch the stars up above

'Cause it's one time for the Underdog

One time for the Underdog

You got the world on your team

Even if that ain't what it seems

It's one time for the underdog

One time for the underdog

A 20 year old dreamin' of whippin' Monte Carlo's

And gold jewlery lookin' like I came from El Dorado

Pick up the pen and pad, stead of spittin gin and vag
